Preface
The stories of ancient courts are often gripping and full of endless power struggles and emotional entanglements. In the long course of history, there are many beautiful women who, for various reasons, have been caught in the whirlpool of power, and finally embarked on a tragic life path. Among them, there is a woman named Feng Xiaolian, whose life is full of legends and tragedies, and has also become a good story in the long river of history.
1. Feng Xiaolian was given to Cushman & Wakefield
Feng Xiaolian, who was originally an ordinary maid in the Northern Qi Dynasty, was photographed by the queen by chance and became the queen's personal maid. And at this time, Gao Wei, the monarch of the Northern Qi Dynasty, heard about Feng Xiaolian's beauty, so he ordered her to be dedicated to himself and became his own Empress Zuo.
At first, Feng Xiaolian was given to Gao Wei, and she was naturally very favored, after all, being able to become the monarch's concubine is such a glory that many people dream of. And Gao Wei's affection for Feng Xiaolian is even more extraordinary, and even above the court, he publicly announced his intentions and let Feng Xiaolian lie naked on the table for the minister to watch, such a move naturally caused an uproar among the government and the opposition.
2. Cushman & Wakefield's indulgence of selfish desires led to the collapse of the country
In the Northern Qi court at that time, there were already many corrupt and bad habits, and Gao Wei's indulgence of selfish desires was even worse, making the atmosphere of the entire court more and more corrupt. At this time, the Northern Qi encountered an unprecedented military crisis, and many foreign enemies came to invade the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty.
In the face of such a grim situation, Gao Wei still only cared about his own pleasure and did not care about the safety of the country at all, and such behavior was naturally greatly dissatisfied by the courtiers and the people. Under the attack of foreign enemies, Northern Qi was in danger and was finally destroyed by other countries, and Gao Wei also chose to die with Feng Xiaolian in this war.
3. Feng Xiaolian's tragic life
After Gao Wei's death, Feng Xiaolian did not get any benefits from this, but was given to the acting king Yuwenda and became the acting king's concubine. And by Yuwenda's side, Feng Xiaolian did not get any peace, but formed an indissoluble bond with Yuwenda's concubine Li.
Originally, Feng Xiaolian and the Li family did not have any intersection, but by a coincidence, Feng Xiaolian became the obstacle of the Li family and was framed to death by her. And just after Feng Xiaolian's death, the Li family also embarked on the same tragic path as Feng Xiaolian for various reasons, and finally died of hatred.
Fourth, Feng Xiaolian's tragedy reflects the dark side of ancient society
Feng Xiaolian's life can be said to be full of endless strife and tragedy, she was originally just an ordinary maid, but because of her beauty, she was swept into the whirlpool of power, and finally embarked on a tragic road that she could not break free. And in the whole story, whether it is Cushman or other characters, they actually bear a certain responsibility.
As a monarch, Cushman & Wakefield's indulgence of selfish desires directly led to the collapse of the entire country, which fully demonstrated the danger of the monarch's indulgence of selfish desires and sounded the alarm for future generations. And the grievance entanglement between Feng Xiaolian and the Li family also reflects the cruelty of the ancient harem struggle, as well as the helpless situation of women in the court.
Throughout the story, none of the characters were spared, and their fates were endlessly manipulated and hurt, and finally embarked on a tragic life path. Such stories may have been common in the society of the time, but for us, they are a vivid mirror, allowing us to see the dark side of ancient society, and the endless evils brought about by the interweaving of power and beauty.
epilogue
Feng Xiaolian's life may be full of endless legends and tragedies, but her experience has left us with a lot of inspiration. In today's society, although we no longer live in a feudal society, some things are still the same, power and beauty, will still make many people crazy, and will also bring endless disasters to society.
